TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical study was done to find the influence of emotional intelligence on work life balance for better satisfaction and performance, and it was proved that there is a negative correlation between age and ability to recognise emotions, ability to pursue goals in the face of rejection and the ability to deal with criticism.
Abstract: In today's global and complex environment, the association between emotional intelligence and performance is an important area of worry for both the employers and the employees An empirical study was done to find the influence of emotional intelligence on work life balance for better satisfaction and performance It found that there is variance between age and response towards work and the amount time spent at work It is proved that there is a negative correlation between age and ability to recognise emotions, ability to pursue goals in the face of rejection and the ability to deal with criticism It also revealed that the faculty members of the private universities suffered more stress related diseases Researchers found that the educational level of the respondent, annual salary, marital status, number of children and the number of dependents financially supported by the respondents are important variables in predicting the ability to recognise emotions

TL;DR: In this paper, the extent to which female teachers in Ghana are able to balance their careers and social roles, while acting as role models in career progression was investigated, and the results have several implications for GES policy direction, practices for performance, and recommendations for scaling up WLB research in Ghana.
Abstract: This study investigates the extent to which female teachers in Ghana are able to balance their careers and social roles, while acting as role models in career progression. Work-life balance (WLB) is a phenomenon gaining much interest in educational administration and management in Ghana. The Ghana Education Service (GES) employs a significant number of female teachers, yet evidence shows practical policy issues when it comes to WLB. Study respondents indicated their perceptions of significant sociocultural challenges in trying to balance domestic roles and teaching. Some support systems were identified, but they were not found to have a significant effect on female teachers’ resilience and determination to consolidate their career in GES. The results have several implications for GES policy direction, practices for performance, and recommendations for scaling up WLB research in Ghana.

TL;DR: This paper examined how discourses of work-life balance are appropriated and used by women academics and found that female academics' ways of speaking about worklife balance respond to gendered attitudes about paid work and unpaid care that predominate in Australian socio-cultural life.
Abstract: This article examines how discourses of work–life balance are appropriated and used by women academics. Using data collected from semi-structured, single person interviews with 31 scholars at an Australian university, it identifies and explores four ways in which participants construct their relationship to work–life balance as: (1) a personal management task; (2) an impossible ideal; (3) detrimental to their careers; and (4) unmentionable at work. Findings reveal that female academics' ways of speaking about work–life balance respond to gendered attitudes about paid work and unpaid care that predominate in Australian socio-cultural life. By taking a discursive approach to analysing work–life balance, our research makes a unique contribution to the literature by drawing attention to the power of work–life balance discourses in shaping how women configure their attempts to create a work–life balance, and how it functions to position academic women as failing to manage this balance.
